FIPS 140-2 Nonproprietary Security Policy for Cisco 7206VXR NPE-400 Router with VAM

OL-3959-01

Roles and Services

In addition to the built-in interfaces, the router also has additional port adapters that can optionally be
placed in an available slot. These port adapters have many embodiments, including multiple Ethernet,
token ring, and modem cards to handle frame relay, ATM, and ISDN connections.

Note

These additional port adapters were excluded from this FIPS 140-2 Validation.

Roles and Services

Authentication is role-based. There are two main roles in the router that operators may assume: the
Crypto Officer role and the User role. The administrator of the router assumes the Crypto Officer role to
configure and maintain the router using Crypto Officer services, while Users exercise only the basic User
services. Both roles are authenticated by providing a valid username and password. The configuration
of the encryption and decryption functionality is performed only by the Crypto Officer after
authentication to the Crypto Officer role by providing a valid Crypto Officer username and password.
Once the Crypto Officer configured the encryption and decryption functionality, the User can use this
functionality after authentication to the User role by providing a valid User username and password. The
Crypto Officer can also use the encryption and decryption functionality after authentication to the
Crypto Officer role. The module supports RADIUS and TACACS+ for authentication and they are used
in the FIPS mode. See the

Cisco 7206VXR Installation and Configuration Guide

for more configuration

information.
